Pap Pap
Pap pap is the staple of the Basotho diet. It is a cornmeal porridge. Much like the yucca porridges so common in other parts of Africa, few meals are enjoyed in Lesotho without pap pap. It is sometimes seasoned with garlic, but often is just cornmeal and water. It is filling but bland to the American palate, so I spiced it up a bit with a generous amount of garlic and some fresh corn. It helped pump up the flavor and the pap pap is a great creamy balance for the spice and acid of the rest of the dish. Cornflour can be used as a substitute for cornmeal.
